Goodwill find
 

Just stopped in to look around. I came home with 92 yards of Quilt Shop Quality material. The cost was $1.58 per yard. Happy Dance for me. There are 12 different cuts and they will all make great quilt backings. I have gotten small amounts before but this was the Mother lode.

Where are the pictures, got to have pictures when we here of such great finds!:)

I'm not greedy. It's in Tomah. Will try for pictures when DH gets home to be my tec support.

I keep going back to my local GW and they have nothing.:thumbdown:

I never seem to luck out at the goodwill or salvation army in my area. I have to go out of state to find things.

Ditto here too. The only piece of fabric that I have found at Goodwill in the last year was one piece which I did not buy. They never seem to have fabric. Happy for you though.

My Goodwill doesn't have anything but I'm really happy for you. Congrats. Enjoy your find. Sue

I to have found good deals at thrift stores and garage sales. You just never know till you find them.

My closest GW is moving to a larger store. Will be setup on the 6th I think. Things have been a little lean at the old store lately! LOL

Awesome find!!

Lucky lucky u! Don't cha just love when that happens?!

Awesome find! Looking forward to seeing your haul.

Here's a picture of what I got at Goodwill yesterday.

You were definitely in the right place at the right time. Congratulations.

It gets even better. I stopped after work yesterday and got 3 more cuts-almost 12 yards- for $15. In two days I have gotten fabric just a bit longer than a football field for an average of $1.57 a yard! Probably shouldn't but will stop again tonight. Just in case.

Good for you. I can never find anything at my store.

WOW! Nice find! Yep, I would stop there again and again and again! Ours never has anything worth buying! Bummer

my GW never has anything! They see me coming and hide the good stuff. Congrads on the haul

Great find. Our Goodwill never has fabric.

I buy cotton men's shirts and cut them up. Sometime I get them for .50 I also look for gored wool skirts for my felted woolen works.

unbelievable! I have never even found a bag of itsy bitsy scraps in a thrift dtore. Lucky you

You can find good deals at thrift stores. If you go to one often and make friends with the people running the store you can ask them to notify you when fabric etc. comes in.

I never find anything at the Goodwill or garage sales!!

I wish your Goodwill would move to my town. I haven't found fabric there or at any other thrift store that amounted to anything. I'm jeolous. Enjoy making lots of quilts from all that great fabric.

Wow! What a wonderful find. Enjoy.

I don't have a Good Will store near, but I do have a Salvation Army store nearby. I think some areas are good for fabric and sewing items and some aren't. The one near me never has anything like that. I needed shirting fabric and thought I would get some men's shirts and cut them up. They were $4.99 each. I decided that I would buy new fabric rather than spend that much on used shirts. My daughter goes there all the time and gets receiving blankets for her dog's cage for $.50 each. Then she just throws them away when the dog is done with them.

Congrats! You have really hit the motherlode! Great find! I hit it once, but it was on Craigs list!

Wow, you do find a truly good deal.

Congratulations. I have never seen that much fabric at a thrift store. Great haul, what are you going to make?

We have quite a few GW's, my friend & I hit all of them & never found any material! Good for you!!!!!!!!!!!

I am really happy for you!! My Goodwill doesn't seem to have very much fabric and most is double knit or something that you would not use in a quilt.

That is great!

Congrats on the fabric--good deal!

I understand that the workers get first pick of all that's donated

I have no idea what I'm going to make. For now it's sitting on the dinning roon table making me smile and do a happy dance when I see it. I have gotten small pieces before but never anything like this. Maybe some day I'll find a Featherweight. That would be tops.

I found 30 ct linen for Hardanger embroidery at a local thrift store. $2.25 for the gallon zip bag of cuts. Quite a bargain considering retail is upwards of $28.00/yd. (It was labeled by the thrift store as painting canvas.)

Wow!! that is a good buy.

WOW!!!! That is great!!!
